The seat of power of the Catholic Church is the Vatican. This is a very small area in the centre of Rome (which comprises the Basilica of St Peter's, several buildings and a big garden) and is an independent city-state.

What struggles did the church face under the roman empire during the middle ages?
None, since the Roman Empire fell apart in about 400 AD and the Middle Ages started over 500 years later. The Church faced numerous problems during the fall of the Roman Empire, which eventually led to the Western Church (now the Roman Catholic Church) and the Eastern Church (now the Greek Orthodox Church) to split and excommunicate the other. During the Middle Ages, the Church became very influential with the royal and noble households and had practically untouchable political and economic power.

Why the Holy Roman Empire was never able to achieve the unity and power of the English or French monarchies?
The Holy Roman Empire wasn't actually an empire it was the Roman Catholic Church(I'm not 100% positive I'm correct on the answer I'm about to give you) Leaders in Italy wanted to bring back the Roman Empire in the form of the Catholic Church and they never really achieved the unity and power of the English and French due to the fact they were Protestant (i.e Christian, Baptist, Methodist etc.) and they didn't have much of a way to enforce anything. I'm about 80% sure that's the answer I haven't looked at European history in a while.
